COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONRadiant Summer Ale is, "Crisp and flavorful, Radiant Summer Ale is a clean finishing summer offering in the Ninkasi tradition. The smooth malt character is balanced by a clean noble hop presence, the perfect compliment to a glorious summer day! 6% alc./vol. 40 ibus." Itís dry-hopped with Liberty hops. Itís more bitter rather than floral and has a crisp, clean finish.

Hazy orange-amber pour with a thin white head. The nose is light and a touch spicy. A hint of soft fruit and orange peel along with a bit of sweet malt. Light and fairly quaffable brew although itís fairly forgettable. Simple though.

Beautiful red amber color, weak head. medium alcoholic nose. Strong taste (radiant). Quite a bite on this one. Almost burnt malt flavor, but might be hops which are present in the middle but fade near the end to a breadiness.

Medium golden, minimal, disappearing head, with only a slight aroma consisting of light malt. Nothing special there, and nothing very special special with the flavor which is just a little hop forward, but overall very balanced. The malt background is pretty basic. Finishes light it starts; slightly hoppy bitterness lingering. A good beer with spicey food when you want something clean and refreshing, but otherwise not something would pull off the shelf again.
